LSU Court Case: Full Transcript of Final Decision

The following is a full transcript of the decision of the Honorable Edward D. Webster, the judge in the trial of the “LSU three” vs. La Sierra University, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and various church officials over the infamous self-recording of these men acting contrary to the church’s positions on numerous issues. The judge expressed his surprise that LSU maintained these men in any kind of employment given how they expressed themselves in the recording. Not surprisingly, he sided with the defendants in this case on all counts, but suggested the strong likelihood of appeal given the $250,000 price tag already incurred in legal fees thus far.
